    Plot Outline: A documentary comparing the highly profitable American health care industry to other nations, and HMO horror stories.
    Plot: Documentary look at health care in the United States as provided by profit-oriented health maintenance organizations (HMOs) compared to free, universal care in Canada, the U.K., and France. Moore contrasts U.S. media reports on Canadian care with the experiences of Canadians in hospitals and clinics there. He interviews patients and doctors in the U.K. about cost, quality, and salaries. He examines why Nixon promoted HMOs in 1971, and why the Clintons reform effort failed in the 1990s. He talks to U.S. ex-pats in Paris about French services, and he takes three 9/11 clean-up volunteers, who developed respiratory problems, to Cuba for care. He asks of Americans, “Who are we?”

    Plot: This documentary is not for the faint-hearted. it dissects the origins of the christian religion and gives an interesting view on how a few american banks (and thus a few very powerful people) have seized worldpower at the beginning of the 20th century. it also related these topics to the big wars that have been fought in the 20th century and are still being fought today!

    Trivia: There are 62 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • Of the 253 episodes of “Doctor Who” that were produced in the 1960s, 108 no longer exist in the BBC Television Archives due to an archive purge in the 1970s. The most recent episode to be recovered as of 2006 is a print of the 1965 episode “The Daleks Master Plan: Day of Armageddon”, returned by a former BBC engineer in January 2004.
    • In addition to 108 episodes that no longer exist, some episodes no longer exist in their original format. Four episodes only survive in an edited state – “Checkmate” (“The Time Meddler”: Episode 4), “The Celestial Toymaker”: Episode 4, “The War Machines”: Episode 3, and “The War Machines”: Episode 4. Furthermore, twelve episodes only survive in black and white whilst originally filmed in color – “The Ambassadors of Death”: Episodes 2, 3, 4 and 7, “The Mind of Evil” (all six episodes), “Planet of the Daleks”: Episode 3, and “Invasion of the Dinosaurs”: Part 1.
    • The format of the shows entire run was a series of cliff-hanger adventure serials. Each of the Doctors adventures would be told across several half-hour episodes, with a cliff-hanger ending each one. Each “season” of the show would be broken into several stories, taking usually 4 to 6 episodes to play out – on-screen, each individual episode would begin with the title of the story (“The Android Invasion”, to name one), followed by the storys author, then what episode the story the audience was watching (“Part One”, for example). This method of titling wasnt established until late in the third season; prior to that, every episode was given its own unique title. Because of this, there are no official story titles to the earliest adventures, though semi-official ones have been consistently used on DVDs, books, etc.

Jorge Drexler, who wrote and recorded “Al otro lado del rнo” for the film was asked not to perform it during the Oscar Ceremony, with the producers citing “commercial reasons” (i.e. hes not famous). The song was performed by Antonio Banderas and Carlos Santana instead.

    • Despite based upon an Argentinean book, about a Cuban-Argentinean legend, with a Mexican and an Argentinean actor in the leading roles and spoken in Spanish, the film represented Brazil in many film festivals worldwide. Only the director, Walter Salles, is Brazilian.

    Plot Outline: A documentary on Al Gores campaign to make the issue of global warming a recognized problem worldwide.
    Plot: Director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Mr. Gores personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change.  A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way.  “Al Gore strips his presentations of politics, laying out the facts for the audience to draw their own conclusions in a charming, funny and engaging style, and by the end has everyone on the edge of their seats, gripped by his haunting message,” said Guggenheim.  An Inconvenient Truth is not a story of despair but rather a rallying cry to protect the one earth we all share.  “It is now clear that we face a deepening global climate crisis that requires us to act boldly, quickly, and wisely,” said Gore.

    Plot Outline: Michael Moores view on what happened to the United States after September 11; and how the Bush Administration allegedly used the tragic event to push forward its agenda for unjust wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
    Plot: In this film, muckraker Michael Moore turns his eye on George W. Bush and his War on Terrorism agenda. He illustrates his argument about how this failed businessman with deep connections to the royal house of Saud of Saudia Arabia and the Bin Ladins got elected on fraudulent circumstances and proceeded to blunder through his duties while ignoring warnings of the looming betrayal by his foreign partners. When that treachery hits with the 9/11 attacks, Moore explains how Bush failed to take immediate action to defend his nation, only to later cynically manipulate it to serve his wealthy backers corrupt ambitions. Through facts, footage and interviews, Moore illustrates his contention of how Bush and his cronies have gotten America into worse trouble than ever before and why Americans should not stand for it.

    Crazy Credits: We know about 4 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
    At the end of the credits, there is a screen text shot that reads, “Do Something: www.michaelmoore.com”

    Goofs: We know about 33 goofs. Here comes one of them:
    Factual errors: Though the Antonia Graza is supposed to be an Italian ship, there are several glaring grammatical errors whenever Italian words are visible on screen. The most evident of these is the plaque sporting the phrase “Cabina di capitano” (outside the ships captain cabin) instead of the correct “Cabina del capitano”. Other visible errors include gibberish on a can of rat poison in the galley.

    Trivia: There are 28 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • In May 2004, Michael Moore announced that Disney (which owns Miramax, the films distributor) had officially prohibited Miramax from releasing the film and expressed his frustration that the film was being stifled. Disney said that the decision had been made a year earlier in May 2003 when it told Miramax that it would not be willing to distribute the film. Disney chief executive, Michael Eisner, said that Moore was announcing it at that time to create publicity for the films screening at the Cannes Film Festival. Moore claimed that Eisner had expressed concern that the film might jeopardize tax breaks granted to Disney for its theme park, hotels, and other ventures in Florida, where Jeb Bush, President George W. Bushs brother, is governor.
    • Director Trademark: [Michael Moore] [Flint] Marine recruiters look for volunteers in Flint, Michigan.
    • Ray Bradbury, author of “Fahrenheit 451″, has voiced his displeasure at Michael Moore appropriating the title of his book.

    Plot Outline: An irreverent look at obesity in America and one of its sources – fast food corporations.
    Plot: Why are Americans so fat? Two words: fast food. What would happen if you ate nothing but fast food for an entire month? Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock does just that and embarks on the most perilous journey of his life. The rules? For 30 days he cant eat or drink anything that isnt on McDonalds menu; he must wolf three squares a day; he must consume everything on the menu at least once and supersize his meal if asked. Spurlock treks across the country interviewing a host of experts on fast food and an equal number of regular folk while chowing down at the Golden Arches. Spurlocks grueling drive-through diet spirals him into a physical and emotional metamorphosis that will make you think twice about picking up another Big Mac.

    Crazy Credits: We know about 2 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:

    Factual errors: The Blue Danube Waltz is by Johann Strauß not by Richard Strauss.

    Trivia: There are 8 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • The documentary premiered at Sundance in January, 2004. Less than two months later, McDonalds announced that it will no longer sell any of their menu items in “Super Size”, although they officially deny that this move was in reaction to the film.
    • Morgan Spurlock got the idea for the documentary when he was lying on his couch at his familys house shortly after Thanksgiving dinner, watching TV when he saw the news about two teenage girls suing McDonalds for making them obese.
    • When the movie opened in Australia, it had the highest opening gross ever for a documentary. It grossed just over AUS$1 million (over US$800,000) in the first two weeks of release.
